Embossed, vintage Christmas card mailed in the USA in 1913 with stamp and postmarks from sending and receiving towns.  A bit beaten up–or we should say, “well-loved.”  Grade: 4

In slightly better condition than other cards of this era, mailed from USA in 1910 with stamp, postcard, and even a readable message.  Grade: 2

Unused card.  Grade: 1

Lenticular printing with motion effect — the sleigh and the reindeer move up and down.  Mailed from Singapore, not really known for its snow, with two uncancelled stamps and Air Mail label.  Only because there’s no postmark, Grade: 4

This 5-3/4″ x 7-1/4″ item is not strictly a postcard, though could be used as one easily.  Macau Post prints these for each new issue during the year.  The reverse has full technical information in Chinese, Portuguese, and English.  Unused.  Grade: 1

We didn’t want to create a link so we left off the .net, but this text basically says “find the address for a friend” in the context of: send more Christmas cards.  Mailed in 2013 with stamp, faint postmark, and Priority label.  Grade: 1

In 1964, someone wrote a Christmas message to someone else on the back of this card, not postally used however.  Serrated edges, and the “Bonne Annee” section is embossed.  Grade: 4

Issued by Pos Indonesia, a hardback Presentation Pack measuring 6″ x 8-1/4″.  Open it up (see 38000238B and C) to see a stamp sheetlet, a sheet of mint stamps, and two postcards.  Grade: 1

We suppose if you can only have one card from a country, this is a good one.  An unused Maximum Card from Christmas 1983 (though look closely at the postmark, it came out in August), this card has become heavily aged and mottled, especially on the reverse, and everything is explained in detail in the message section on the back.  Grade: 3 

Starting with this entry, and moving forward, we are offering unused New Year sets from DPR Korea, always of five cards, from different years.  For this entry, we just scattered all five cards in the scanner space so you can get the idea.  All cards have pre-printed postage and are thin and flimsy — hard to imagine them surviving international mailing, but that was not, we suspect, ever the intention.  Grade: 1

Similar in theme to our previous DPRK New Year entries, and with heavier paper stock than the years before 2007.  A set of five unused cards, with pre-printed postage, for domestic use and entirely in Korean.  Grades: 1
